Route unusual population estimate changes for review
Let a clear threshold catch figures that need a closer look, then keep the review in Asana.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create task in asana with specific details
Creates a new asana task; requires 'workspace', 'parent', or 'projects' for association, and 'followers', 'projects', 'tags' are set only at creation.
Why this helps
Unexpected changes can hide in routine data refreshes when nobody has time to scan every value.
- Check estimates against a defined baseline.
- Create review work only when stated criteria are met.
- Make the unusual value and comparison period visible to reviewers.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Census bureau and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe the Census series, comparison baseline or threshold, and the task details for any result needing review.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real period and confirm qualifying changes create the expected tasks.
Questions about this workflow
What if no baseline is available?
Provide a comparison period or explicit threshold. Without one, the workflow can report current values but cannot reliably identify an anomaly.
Does a task mean the Census value is wrong?
No. It means the value met your review criteria and should be checked by a person.
